Avalanches!

 hello guys this week we had to choose something to do for inquiry i choose avalanches.  Hope you like it see if there is anything wrong. 

Avalanches  

Did you know that avalanches can kill over 150 people, normally around Europe and

North America! I know right, crazy, read my report to find out more things about avalanches. 
Types of avalanches?
There are mainly two types of avalanches one is sluffs this is where 
The thin layer of snow falls down. The second is called slabs. This one where there is

a weak bit of snow and then the rest of the snow falls, it is kind of like dominoes. 
How do avalanches occur?
Most avalanches occur because of storms or change in the snow.

This is where the sun melts the snow. They can also occur by rain, earthquakes, rockfall and ice fall. 
Fun facts!
Loud noises rarely cause avalanches. The avalanches are mostly caused on 30 to 45 degree angle snow mountains.

Avalanches are faster than a car. Did you know that an avalanche can knock down trees and huge rocks!

Conclusion 
So altogether we know that an avalanche is a pile of snow that moves down to the bottom and about the different types of avalanches,

how avalanches occur and some fun facts about avalanches. Here are some photos of avalanches!

Anne Frank reading!

 Hello readers,

WALT: locate and summarise important information from a range of related texts. 

This week for reading we are doing the same thing as last week but a different book, the book i was reading is called Anne Frank, the story is about Anne Frank life and how she was Jewish. she was hiding in a secret annex away from the Nazis, she soon found a diary and named it kitty. The Nazis soon found her and 3 other families, Then the Nazis took her to Auschwitz-Birkenau, a concentration camp. A concentration camp is a camp where the Nazis held Jews and others. Many people were killed or died there.  Anne soon died of a disease called typhus. I found this book really interesting, and sad because she died at the age of 16. What i found difficult is coming up with my own inspirational message. I learnt who Anne Frank is and how she became inspirational. These create task are really cool too. i give this weeks book a 10/10.

Matariki reading create tasks week 8

 Kia ora, morena, Tena koe or Ata marie

WALT:Summarise and analyse ideas and information from different texts.

hello readers this week we have been working on matariki. Matariki is a maori new year were 7 sisters are stars, how they got up there is Tāwhirimātea was so angry because his brothers pulled there mother/Papatūānuku and dad/Ranginui so he grabbed his eyeballs out of his eyelid and crush his eyeballs then he threw the crushed eye up into the sky. I really like working about Matariki, the thing that i found hard was probably typing up all the ideas from the videos up onto the doc. Hope you like my work.

create task: 1, for this create task we had to take ideas from the videos or websites that we had to watch or read this one was the most challenging for me.

Video #1 

• Matariki with glitter and silver and glue. 

• Sisters fighting. 

• Ranginui, papatuanuku,kei tango tango, wainui are the parents, puanga/ red , takurua/ blue star, the sisters are, Matariki, waiti, waita, waipuna rangi, tupu a nuku, tupu a rangi, uru rangi. 

• Matariki is a family of stars.  

• Matariki has seven sister stars. 

Wainui said we need to give our sisters a task. I have an idea about kei Tango Tango that should be a sign for the new year. 

• The girls are then given their responsibilities. 

• It is bad luck if you can not see the 7 sisters. 

• It is good luck when you can see them clearly through the sky. 

• So the sister just needed an important task to do. 

Video #2

• Matariki is also the name for the maori New year. 

• They disappear into the night sky in late April. 

• The stars appear again in late May or early June.

• When the stars appear it is a sign that the maori new year has begun.

• There is much to celebrate. 

• The matariki has many other names, like the 7 sisters. 

• Matariki is known for the biggest star or the oldest sister and guides her younger sisters to their positions. 

•  The old stories say that when the stars shine the sky will be warm and good for growing crops, And there will be plenty of seaweed together, plants will grow ta;ll and strong. 

• We can celebrate Matariki by many ways, it is a time for sharing family stories, for learning about the land and how to look after it, it is a time for hearing stories about the old days, for learning about how people used the stars in the past, it is a time for plant trees and winter crops, it is a time to fish for kaimoana, it is a time for making things, to learn how to weave and carve, it is a time for making and flying kites, Matariki is a time to make plans for the future, and to forgive and forget problems of the future, it is a time to enjoy family and friends.    

Website #1 Te papa museum  

• Not all iwis celebrate matariki at the same time. 

• Some might celebrate matariki on the first full moon. 

• A cluster of stars that are near each other. 

• The stars join together to become a pattern. 

•  Only six or seven are visible without a telescope. 

• There are five hundred stars in the matariki cluster 

• You can see them before sunrise. 

• The brighter and clearer the stars seemed, the warmer the growing season would be, ensuring a good harvest. 

• Papatuanuku was so angry that he ript is eyes out and crushed them and threw them up into the sky.

• The stars of Matariki were used for people to find their way
